To
Learn
About
the
Capitals
of
Iowa.
From
the
time
that
civil
government
was
established
over
the
country
that
is
now
Iowa,
the
capital
has
been
located
in
six
places.
Detroit
was
the
seat
of
government
when
Iowa
was
a
part
of
Michigan
Territory
in
1834
and
1835.
In
1836,
however,
after
the
State
of
Michigan
was
formed,
the
Territorial
legislature,
including
representatives
from
the
country
west
of
the
Mississippi
river,
met
at
Green
Bay
(Wisconsin).
Later
that
year
the
Territory
of
Wisconsin
was
established
and
the
first
session
of
the
legislature
was
held
at
Belmont
in
a
two-story
frame
building
that
looked
like
a
country
store.
The
second
session
was
at
Burlington
in
capitol
that
burned
on
the
cold
night
of
Dec.
12,
1837.
Since
Iowa
became
a
Territory
in
1838,
the
seat
of
government
has
twice
been
moved
--
first
from
Burlington
to
Iowa
City,
and
then
from
Iowa
City
to
Des
Moines.
For
Burlington
to
be
the
first
capital
of
Iowa
Territory
was
natural.
It
had
serve*
temporarily
as
the
capital
o:
Wisconsin
Territory.
In
five
years
it
had
grown
to
be
the
principal
town
in
Iowa.
Many
of
the
leading
citizens
lived
in
or
near
Burlington.
More
over,
the
population
was
in
creasing
more
rapidly
in
tha'
part
of
the
Territory
than
any
where
else.
According
to
th
census
of
1838,
nearly
two
thirds
of
the
inhabitants
o:
Iowa
lived
in
the
five
south
eastern
counties,
within
fortj
miles
of
Burlington.
The
first
building
to
be
use
as
the
capitol

across

and
through

but
they
returned

time.
The
condition
of
the
aw
was
fulfilled.
Three
days
later
the
com-
nissioners
stood
on
a
low
hill,
as
on
the
stage
of
a
mighty
theater.
Behind
them
flowed
the
Iowa
river,
swift
with
the
waters
of
April
showers.
To
the
east,
nearly
parallel
to
the
river
lay
a
little
valley
through
which
ran
a
brook.
Entering
from
the
east
between
the
hills,
it
flowed
forward
down
what
might
have
seemed
the
center
aisle,
joined
a
tributary
coming
from
the
north,
and
turn-
and
schools
were
built,
merchants
prospered,
and
newspapers
flourished.
The
capital
of
the
Territory
became
the
capital
of
the
state.
Fourteen
sessions
of
the
legislature
and
three
constitutional
conventions
met
in
the
stately
capitol,
accomplished
their
work,
and
adjourned.
Meanwhile,
a
constant
tide
of
settlers
was
pushing
the
frontier
farther
and
farther
toward
the
setting
sun.
The
center
of
population
shifted
westward
until
it
approached
the
geographical
center
of
the
state.
Each
of
the
constitutional
conventions
and
all
but
two
of
the
legislatures
that
met
in
Iowa
City
considered
the
question
of
relocating
the
capital.
Efforts
to
move
the
seat
of
government
were
particularly
vigorous
in
the
first
general
assembly
of
the
state.
All
the
arguments
in
favor
of
a
central
location
were
used,
but
friends
of
Iowa
City
.resisted.
Finally
the
pontest
ended
in
a
compromise.
A
committee
was
named
to
find
a
new
site
for
the
capital,
and
the
newly
created
state
university
was
to
be
kaloosa.
Pella,
and
Fort

were
the
principal
ri

Gradually
people
began

as
th

place
for
the
permanen
capital.
In
response
to
public
opii
ion

tremendous
persuasio
from
Des

the
general
assembly
passed
an
act
in
1855
relocating
the
capital
within
two
miles
of
the
junction
of
the
Des
Moines
and
Raccoon
rivers.

Des

river
was
chosen
for

While
a

capitol
was

erected,
the
state
offices
remained
at

In
final
settlement
of
the
problem,
the
Constitution
of
1857
declares,
"The
seat
of
government
is
hereby
permanently
established,
as
now
fixed
by
law,
at
the
City
of
Des
Moines,
in
the
County
of
Polk."
The
present
capitol
has
